The primary objective of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 is to:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The long title states the aim "to prevent the commission of offences of atrocities against the members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes". Untouchability is abolished by Article 17 and dealt with by the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955. Reservation and economic development rest on the Constitution and government schemes, not on this Act.
